Can infantile high fever convulsion have sequela

When you see a child with febrile convulsion, you must keep calm as far as possible, take care of the child while dialing 120, and take the following measures before the ambulance arrives to relieve the child's discomfort as much as possible.

First, lie the child on his back with his head to one side. When children twitch, their teeth will be closed, some will have oral secretions, and even vomiting, so that their heads can be tilted to one side for drainage to avoid inhalation suffocation. Parents can give their children a little loose collar to keep their breathing unobstructed, while pressing Hegu and Renzhong acupoints.

In addition, if there is no obvious shivering when the child has a fever, it is not necessary to keep warm excessively. Proper exposure can also increase heat dissipation. If it is a period of rising body temperature, children with chills can keep warm appropriately. Parents can do some physical cooling, bath or head cooling for their children at the same time.

It's possible that by the time the ambulance arrived, the child's convulsions had already ended. This situation also suggests that parents bring their children to see a doctor to check whether it is caused by simple febrile convulsion, because children's nervous system infection is also one of the causes of febrile convulsion, should be ruled out in time.
